Yet Stewart was exactly the kind of partisan hack he eviscerated. Politico recently reported that not only had Stewart met in secret with President Barack Obama right before big stories were set to hit, but Obama’s aides had also worked with Daily Show writers so that their side of the story was well-represented.
It wasn't a secret because the clown nose comedian said so!!!

Actually this sums it up better (you're just not that bright and very, very intellectually lazy)
Stewart simply lets his own left-leaning ideology influence his presentation. And it just so happens that he shares his left-wing views with most of our contemporary political and cultural establishment; President Obama, for example, loves The Daily Show and loathes Fox News just as much Stewart.
…
Stewart always criticized those on the right because he detested them, but criticized those on the left for making the left look bad or for not being liberal enough. He may have attacked individual inconvenient liberals or liberal entities, but his overall commitment to the cause of liberalism—a commitment he shares with our contemporary establishment—ensured that he would never harm that cause, and in fact would work actively to promote it.

You probably actually believe Stewart was objective or something.
This is a fantastic explanation of how Stewart turned stupid people into smug stupid people:
Many liberals, but not conservatives, believe there is an important asymmetry in American politics. These liberals believe that people on opposite sides of the ideological spectrum are fundamentally different. Specifically, they believe that liberals are much more open to change than conservatives, more tolerant of differences, more motivated by the public good and, maybe most of all, smarter and better informed.
The evidence for these beliefs is not good. Liberals turn out to be just as prone to their own forms of intolerance, ignorance and bias. But the beliefs are comforting to many.
…
He could have made the liberals in his audience more open to dialogue across the great left/right divide by asking them to examine themselves more carefully and to admit that both ideological camps contain fools. Instead, he was a cultural entrepreneur who provided those viewers with the validation they wanted.
Of course spammy the rat actually believes Stewart had some huge fan base.

But of course the ragingly stupid shit on MSNBC is not there, or something.
You are very, very intellectually lazy. You merely make posts in dumb talking points. The fact that you (and spammy the rat and illiterate vittard) actually believe he picked on Fox because Fox is so super duper biased is embarrassing.
